[Satellite TODAY 07-08-10] DigitalGlobe has signed a contract with end-to-end Internet business products and service provider Internap to use its managed hosting and route-optimized performance IP network to power DigitalGlobe’s Web services offering, the company announced July 4.
    This solution aims to enable rapid Web access to DigitalGlobe’s collection of Earth imagery delivered through content distribution nodes in Colorado, Hong Kong and London. DigitalGlobe’s content then can be integrated and embedded into geospatial applications for defense and intelligence used by civil governments and commercial customers across desktops, portals, intranets and mobile devices. 
    “The strength of Internap’s services in key global markets made it an obvious choice in our efforts to reduce latency. Together with Internap’s solutions, we are confident our customers, no matter where they are, will receive content — and thus valuable information and insight — more quickly and efficiently than previously possible,” DigitalGlobe CIO Scott Hicar said in a statement.
